Traditionally, management and financial accounting were two relatively independent information systems. In the transition countries, financial reporting is heavily influenced by tax legislation, which impairs the usefulness of financial statements for external users. Entities are then forced to remove those lacks in management accounting in a great extent to obtain useful information for the internal decision-making. A separate coexistence of management and financial accounting is then inevitable. The IFRS adoption has increased the quality of financial reporting in transitional countries, despite significant implementation costs. To lower the cost burden, the IFRS are becoming the leading principles of management accounting. The paper assumes that the IFRS may be a special driver for the convergence of financial and management accounting in transitional countries and supports this assumption by empirical questionnaire survey among selected Czech companies.
